Lost Hope
I lit a candle touched with scent of lilac
Settled in the old chair then leaning back
Just a flicker of the candle and a hint of moon
Eyes closed only shadows in a darkened room
Willing myself to hold back the sting of a tear
Trying desperately to smother this awful fear
So alone without anyone at all to care
Opening the bottle looking down, I stare
At little white pills that might take this all away
Little did I know life might end this way
Empty, used up and discarded as an old shoe
Simply give up is all I can think to do
Just imagination!
